Getting there
Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.
- Planes
- Fly to Inverness (www.invernessairport.com). For domestic flights, we like the BMI Baby service (www.bmibaby.com) from Heathrow. But there are lots of other options, including easyJet (www.easyjet.com), BA (www.ba.com) and Ryanair (www.ryanair.com).
- Trains
- There are frequent trains to Inverness – both direct and via Perth – from Edinburgh and Glasgow; journeys take three to four hours. From London Euston, you can also take the 20-hour Caledonian Sleeper (www.firstscotrail.com).
- Automobiles
- A car is crucial for exploring the Highlands. Focus (+44 (0)1463 236684; www.focusvehiclerental.co.uk) rents out everything from Ford Kas (from £23 a day) to Porsche Boxsters (from £60 a day) via an assortment of 4x4s (advisable for fishing/shooting types who are heading off the beaten track). Do be careful on those single-track roads, and resolve to enjoy the scenery at a slow, savourable pace.
